Collin Trach.Tube Fig.3, 7mm S/P

Clinical Application

Provides a stable airway through a tracheostomy stoma for perioperative airway management, postoperative ventilatory support, airway toilet and bronchoscopic access. The 7 mm size is commonly selected for adult patients where an intermediate internal lumen is required to balance work of breathing, suction catheter passage and compatibility with standard bronchoscopes.

Design & Configuration

The Figure 3 Collin pattern is a standard tracheostomy cannula geometry intended to sit securely within the tracheal lumen while allowing external fixation at the flange. The 7 mm designation identifies the tube size used to match patient anatomy and ventilatory requirements; tube diameter directly affects airflow resistance, ease of suctioning and which ancillary devices (for example, bronchoscopes or speaking valves) can be passed through the lumen. Selection of the correct size helps minimize airway pressure, improve clearance of secretions and reduce the need for frequent tube exchanges.
